Rep. Mike Collins's Campaign Allegedly Produced Deepfake of Sen. Jon Ossoff Supporting the Government Shutdown

Rep. Mike Collins's congressional campaign allegedly created and posted an AI-generated video that purportedly used Sen. Jon Ossoff's portrait and synthetic voice to falsely depict him supporting the ongoing government shutdown. The video was reportedly shared on the campaign's X account with a limited disclaimer. Georgia Democrats criticized the deepfake as misleading, and the campaign reportedly indicated it would continue using similar AI tactics.
